Or, pressure the government to give the police the support they have lost over the last 9 years. The sham promise of 20,000 new police needs to be closer to 40k to even get to 20k officers.
Due punishment, never capital punishment. Addressing mental health issues also needs to be recognised.
And I'm out now that I've said my piece can I know how this thread will go.

The punishment for killing a police officer is harsher than that of killing a civilian, so don't expect them to be out of prison sooner than a murderer on parole. I have no idea if they have been caught yet, but yeah, they'll be staring down a heavy sentence |

Neither of the police officers died. The guy who attacked the first one with the machete has been charged with attempt murder. The second guy who ran the bobby over with his own car hasn’t been charged yet. |

Shock horror: slash the Police force and crime rises alongside the risk to officers 
The treatment that the Police get from the government is pretty appalling in my opinion. When most officers are forced to single crew because of a lack of manpower, and are still expected to safely handle risky or even full on dangerous situation single-handed, you know things are going the wrong way.
I'm not a fan of Boris but if he's actually going to get twenty thousand more officers then good on him. But how long will that take? How many of the current officers will leave or retire by then? Is it too little, too late?
Thankyou for coming to my TED talk... |

I’ve been sat here so confused by all this.
I’m no law expert but surely no one is getting charged with murder. |

The law suddenly won’t change and the death penalty brought in.
But there does seem to be a downward spiral of crime and violence in the UK. I’m not sure though if it’s always been this way or now it’s just reported on a lot more. It’s a weird trend though at the moment. |

True. I've never understood why the punishments for attempted murder and murder aren't the same though. Even if one was failed or were foiled in the act, that person had every invention of ending another person's life and gets a comparatively reduced sentence for being bad at killing. |

The problem we have in this country is that there is no fear of the police. Our police use very little force compared to the rest of the world yet our police are portrayed by the media as a gang of inept bullies which just isn’t the case.
Our police are the most scrutinised in the world yet they are the only force who are not routinely armed. It’s all down to the governments agenda to turn the public against the police so that when they stripped the police of numbers and powers the public wouldn’t cry out against it.
The country is going down hill fast, the public and media need to get behind the police and attacks on officers should be dealt with robustly. Front line officers who are not armed run towards danger every day and they don’t have the tools to deal with it, yet they still do it. |

"The judges must apply the strongest possible sentences and put these dangerous people in prison and for the maximum possible time. "
All paid for by the tax payers. I would rather the money be spent on the harmless, homeless people. |

Can someone explain why the murder of a police officer attracts a heavier sentence than the murder of a street sweeper or a brain surgeon? I thought all lives were equal. It seems some people really are more equal than others.

They are the same, attempt murder and murder both carry life sentences although the minimum term set by the judge is usually lower for an attempt than an actual murder. |

Meanwhile the bankers who brought the economy to it's knees, the politicians who lie and cheat for personal advancement and the wealthy billionaire elites who are currently engaged in the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich get away 'scot free'.
All this whilst a main stream media, that is owned and controlled by the billionaire elites, convince a gullible public that 'something must be done' about everyday incidents (that are often caused by a lack of mental health and probation support services etc.). Their plan is working perfectly. |

To be fair....none of the people you mentioned attacked or tried to kill a police man. |

Here you go.
The Government is making this change in the law because it recognises the unique and dangerous job that police and prison officers do on a daily basis. The Government has rightly reformed policing and the terms under police officers work. It also wants to be clear how highly it values the job that police and prison officers do in keeping the public safe. They perform a unique role in that their daily duties bring them into routine contact with dangerous offenders in difficult situations and we know that, tragically, some officers have paid the ultimate price in carrying out these duties. The change also signals the Government’s commitment to the established British model of policing by consent |

No. It says a coppers life is of more value than a civilians. It stinks. All lives are equal. If they can give a more severe sentence for police killers, then they can do it for anyone. |

No life is more valuable than another. The difference is that coppers are expected to run towards danger, members of the public are not. That's why there should be a greater deterrent. |

No it doesn’t. It’s there as a deterrent and as an extra level of protection for those men and women who go out there and protect the likes of you. Look at the case of Kieth Palmer, an unarmed officer who stood his ground at the gates of parliament to protect those inside, he took on a knife wielding terrorist and lost his life, he did that whilst everybody else ran in the opposite direction. If we as the public ask them to do that then we should also offer them better protection in law when they lose their lives. |

Kill as in Murder a Police Officer, or a member if the Security Forces, over here and you are going to be executed no ifs no buts, those that do are usually tortured, some never make it to trial. |

They CAN! the courts can pass a sentence up to life being natural life! IF the judge deems the offence to warrant it, there is (as far as I know) no part of the law that says a police officers life is worth mor than any other citizen!!! Including criminals that get murdered by others! |

Yes but by who? The police or by other criminals. I say that because criminals don’t like it done either because it brings unwanted attention to the criminal community.
There was a guy over here called Dale Creegan who nursed two female police officers. He thought he’d go to jail as a hero but he lives in jail under constant threat from other prisoners. He has only got one eye and there is a bounty for anybody who takes his other eye. |

Someone who murders a police Officer or security personnel would be put in solitary, not among other prisoners.
The Egyptian treatment of criminals is harsh as it is in most of the Middle East.
There have been some high profile investigations into this lately,including
ex Muslim brotherhood and Egyptian president
Mohamed Morsi.
And especially the death concerning a young Italian Student named Giulio Regeni, he was doing research on the Union's over here.l

Which is just as it should be, so why are people under the impression that killing a copper does or should get a bigger sentence? You go to court to be charged and punished for your own personal crimes. If I kill a 3 year old child, a twenty something single man, a forty year old single mother of three kids or a policeman, which crime should attract the biggest jail sentence to act as a deterrent?
You can't pick one. To pick one over the rest automatically downgrades the importance of the others. |

Maybe because they need to have a little thing called evidence to not only arrest people but then get them charged and convicted. Unfortunately the cps and jurors don’t list to rumours and gossip. |

Capital punishment is not timetable in a civilised society. It has limited deterrent effect and experience shows that many innocent people are found guilty of crimes they did not commit.
It's a barbaric act that is at odds within a society that has a humanitarian outlook and that often rails against other cultures for brutality.
Those who have anger wishing others dead would be better focusing their attention on themselves and how they spread peace and wellbeing through the world.
Murder is absolutely wrong , whether by a criminal or government, outside of UN agreement. |

I don't accept that at all. Knowing implies evidence, and that's what they need. Believing is something else, and simply not enough. If the Police could put the people they believed to be responsible for crime before the courts, they'd be right @ 80% of the time, but believing is not knowing, to be 100%. Even that has proven flawed in the past... |

Another one killed over night by some burgling scum bags. No doubt they’ll end up being convicted of manslaughter and will serve a few pathetic years in jail. One of the ten arrested was 13 years old. |

It was no surprise to me when I read recently that recruitment for the police is down massively. Short-staffed, very little back-up or protection and not routinely armed. No wonder nobody wants to do this job anymore. In other news, recruitment for the armed forces is down too. Is it that nobody wants to do a job that requires responsibility or accountability in 21st century Britain? |

The things which used to attract people to the police, such as good pension, retirement after 30 years service regardless of age, good working conditions etc have all been removed by Teresa May, both as home sec and PM. New starters start in £19k and their salary doesn’t rise to over 25k until their 6th year of service. You can earn that driving a bus so there’s no incentive and they have to work until 60 so they could do 42 years service, pay s higher percentage into their pension for 12 years longer to get much less out at the end. It’s a mugs game now. |

"Not a massive fan of the police where I live some are very arrogant but still wouldn't want any killed but they've signed up and in this day I'm surprised more haven't been killed
Signing up for anything doesn't make murder more acceptable."
I agree but some jobs are riskier than other's I for one wouldn't join or the forces as the wages are shite for me I wouldn't even think about it unless they start on 200 grand especially now adays |

"It was no surprise to me when I read recently that recruitment for the police is down massively. Short-staffed, very little back-up or protection and not routinely armed. No wonder nobody wants to do this job anymore. In other news, recruitment for the armed forces is down too. Is it that nobody wants to do a job that requires responsibility or accountability in 21st century Britain?"
Pretty much it fella |

They start low, but as you climb the ladder they increase well. |

Top constables salary is just under 40k but it takes 7 years to get there and the last 2 pay points are worth 10k so the first 5 are rubbish. Add to that your 13.5% pension contributions which equates to around £470 per month and tons of other deductions such as police federation and group insurance subs then the net pay is similar to a normal person earning 15k. |

"Because of ‘human rights’ most criminals have a better life inside prison than out!
No deterrent anymore. "
I agree with this. Some criminals spend most of their lives in prison because they dont know how to cope in everyday life and maybe there is a sense of security and routine inside.
The death sentence wouldn't be a deterrent for some though. Some who has planned and carried out a cold blooded murder should receive a death sentence in my opinion. (im not talking about self defence or accidents)
A life for a life. |

"And another officer down Thames Valley Police
RIP "
Rip. It seems that those arrested are all from a particular "community" who seem to get away with a lot of things that others would be arrested for. I do hope they don't employ an "ism" in defence, but I've a feeling they will. |

It’s a possibility, front line policing expect the unexpected |

I know mate, and the take home for a copper on 40k doesn’t reflect being on 40k, they take home around £2,150 a month after deductions. |

Just looking at the scene photos on the daily mail site. You can see the trail of blood where his body was dragged under the car. Poor bastard didn’t stand a chance. |

Yeah I know, not a pretty sight for them. His body is covered by a tent but you can for a mental picture of what happened to him by the blood trail. Looks like he was dragged a good hundred yards or so. He was married two weeks ago to a gorgeous wife and they were due to go on honeymoon next week. Fucking scum bags will try to blame him just like the burgling bastards who killed pc Dave Philips did when they got to court. |
